Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability63
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 651 tokens (~651/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management8
- Stability check failed: schema churn in the 30 days we've observed: 5 tool removals, 1 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 0 additions. See how to fix → Fail
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 1 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the The Mirror System — AI Citability MCP server?
The Mirror System — AI Citability is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.danielsdesignstudio.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
request_record Request a Brand Discovery Record ~651
Request a Brand Discovery Record — the human-approved source of truth a brand provides to AI assistants and agents, maintained by Mirror. A Record is a machine-readable reference page, hosted by Mirror, stating a brand's verified facts with schema.org structured data and citations, and linking to the brand's own site as the canonical source. It is what a brand PUBLISHES so AI can find, read and cite it: Mirror measures, the Record responds. This is the one public tool of the Mirror switchboard; the measurement itself (a full Brand Reflection) is delivered by a person on request. IMPORTANT — this tool creates a REQUEST, not a Record. Nothing is published by calling it. Automated validation (Gate 1) runs immediately and its results are returned to you. Every Brand Discovery Record is reviewed by Daniels AI and approved by the organization it represents before publication. No autonomous process publishes a brand's machine-readable truth. Fill the fields below with verified, citable facts only. The Record specification is versioned; this tool reports the version it validated against.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| address | object | – | {street, city, region, postal, country} |
| brand_name | string | yes | Exact public name of the brand. |
| citations | array | yes | At least 3 authoritative sources from 3 DIFFERENT domains. |
| description | string | yes | 1-2 factual sentences, ~160 characters. No marketing claims. |
| differentiator | string | – | The notable, verifiable thing. |
| founding_year | string | – | Year established (YYYY). |
| history | string | – | Founding and lineage, factual. |
| official_url | string | yes | The brand's OWN official website (canonical). Must be the brand's domain — never Mirror's. |
| overview | string | – | Short factual prose — what the brand is. |
| phone_e164 | string | – | E.164 format, e.g. +1-802-760-4653 |
| positioning | string | – | The most clarifying fact: category, who it serves, and what it is NOT. |
| public_access | boolean | – | Is it open to the public? The confusion-killer field. |
| recognition | string | – | Awards or coverage, each traceable to a citation. |
| relationship | string | yes | REQUIRED. Who is asking, and on whose behalf. Gate 1 fails without it. Only a request from someone representing the brand can become an authorized Record. If you are trying this tool out, say "testin… |
| requester_contact | string | yes | REQUIRED. A working email for Gate 2 follow-up. Example/reserved domains (example.com, .test, .invalid) fail Gate 1. Without it a Record cannot be authorized. |
| requester_note | string | – | Why this request is being made. |
| schema_type | string | yes | schema.org @type — e.g. GolfCourse, Restaurant, LodgingBusiness, Organization, LocalBusiness. |
| social | array | – | Official profile URLs. |
| tagline | string | yes | One plain line: what it is and where. |
